Product Overview
In the depth of every human being, there is a profound need for answers to the fundamental questions of existence. Is there a God? What is Truth? What is Reality? The Knee of Listening has transformed the lives of thousands of secular and religious seekers since it was first published in 1972, because it answers all of these questions.
This autobiography shows, with incomparable wisdom and clarity, a life moved by the divine, and a being of such unheard-of greatness that many readers are left amazed and touched by this book.
Adi Da's spiritual autobiography tells the miraculous story of his unique Incarnation and revelation in the West for the sake of liberating all beings. To read it is to find the very heart of reality--tangibly felt in your own heart as the deepest truth of existence. It is the great mystery that you are invited to discover.
This edition includes an expanded description of Adi Da's early-life, leading up to his divine re-awakening in 1970 and the secrets of his birth in 1939. It also has new revelations about the spiritual work of the great realizers in his lineage, and Adi Da's unique demonstration of the seventh stage of life. The profound events of Yogic death (in 1986, 1999, and 2000) that occurred after his divine re-awakening--events that completed his process of incarnating the divine conscious light are new as well to this edition.
